Eminem Quotes on race, suicide, and violence

Eminem is a crazy ass white boy. He just doesn’t care what people think of him; at least, he doesn’t care what the media thinks of him. This is my favorite Eminem quote from this entry:

I grew up listening to 2 Live Crew and N.W.A. and I never went out and shot nobody
-Eminem

Tell the media that after the next school shooting (God forbid we have another one), see what they do.

I do promote violence and I don’t give a fuck
-Eminem, in response to Time Magazine

Saving Private Ryan was probably the illest, sickest movie I’ve ever watched, and I didn’t see anybody criticizing that one for violence
-Eminem, on his views about violence

I took a lot of them, I took a bunch of pain killers – Tylenol. I took 13, 16 of ’em and fuckin’ threw ’em up. I thought I was going die, I thought I was going to die for real.
-Eminem, talking about his suicide attempt

There was a while when I was feeling like, ‘Damn, if I’d just been born black, I would not have to go through all this’.
-Eminem – on his race

I try not to look at it that way. Being white. I don’t wake up every day and look in the mirror, ‘Oh. I’m white’.
-Eminem, talking about his race

Unless you want to fuck me, why do you care what I look like?
-Good quote about race from Eminem

At this point, I’m like “Come up with something new.” I hate the same old questions. But it seems like “white” magazines such as Spin and Rolling Stone focus on my “whiteness” more than Black magazines
-Eminem, talkin’ about his race

All my life I’ve been dealing with my race because of where I grew up [Detroit] and being in the rap game. I’m at a boiling point…Anybody who pulls the race card is getting it right back in their face.
-Think he’s tired of talking about being white?

I get offended when people say, `So, being a white rapper…and growing up white…after being born white…’ It’s all I ever hear!
-Yep. He’s tired of the race card.

It’s funny how all the magazines can dwell on my race, but they could NEVER say that my shit is whack because they know my shit is tight!
-Well, it is.
